What is loop quantum gravity and how does it differ from String Theory?

Posted: 18 Sep 2016 11:12 PM PDT

I'm only in my sophomore year in high school, and they don't teach particle physics here at my school. I've read some books on String Theory, but recently I came across "loop quantum gravity" and I don't really understand what it is.

How does Quantum Tunneling help create thermonuclear fusions in the core of the Sun?

Posted: 19 Sep 2016 05:57 AM PDT

I was listening to a lecture by Neil deGrasse Tyson where he mentioned that it is not hot enough inside the sun (10 million degrees) to fuse the nucleons together. How do the nucleons tunnel and create the fusions? Thanks.

What happens to fat cells as fat is metabolized?

Posted: 18 Sep 2016 07:42 AM PDT

Is fat metabolism basically just a point in time process, or does it kick off a process of longer changes to the fat cells? What is that process and how long does it take?

This question comes from a thought I had on a 6 hour bike ride yesterday.

Can two planets share the same orbit around a star? Are there any known examples?

What makes supernovas "explode"?

Posted: 18 Sep 2016 08:55 PM PDT

Hello AskSciencers!

My question is: What makes supernovas explode? I understand the general process after the star stops fusing hydrogen (it starts to fuse heavier elements, like helium). When the nuclear fusion starts producing Iron, which ruins the star's hydrostatic equilibrium and gravity becomes the major force at work. At this point is what I want to know: When the star collapses due to lack of the hydrostatic equlibrium, what makes it explode?

If flamingos were to go extinct today, would their remains have any indication that they were bright pink?

Posted: 18 Sep 2016 03:43 PM PDT

I went to a science and history museum today and we were checking out the dinosaur exhibit. A few of the things I saw said that basically we're not 100% sure on dinosaurs, especially their skin colors.

So that got me thinking about animals today. Flamingos are pink for apparently no reason, and if nuclear holocaust happens today and we lose all of our records, would there be any way for future scientific researchers to know flamingos were pink?

Why do plants turn brown as they die?

Posted: 18 Sep 2016 07:19 PM PDT

I understand that they're usually green because of chlorophyll, but what happens to the chlorophyll that changes the plant's color?

How do the heart's autorhythmic fibers work?

Posted: 18 Sep 2016 01:54 PM PDT

The heart has these autorhythmic fibers that are self-excitable. Can you explain how the action potentials work, where and how they are generated, and how these fibers are involved in arrhythmias? Also, how do these cells become so specialized during embryonic development? My A+P (university Med classes -woohoo!) textbook says that about 1% of the cardiac muscle fibers actually become autorhythmic. How do those 1% know when to begin their job? Sorry for all the questions. The human body is insanely intricate. Feel free to pick only one of the questions to answer. Thanks for your input!

When I cook bacon (100 calories) and drain the grease (1-2 Tbsp), the bacon is now 100-x calories, where x is the calories of the grease, correct?

Posted: 18 Sep 2016 04:54 PM PDT

I'm trying to count my caloric intake as closely as possible, and wanted some verification regarding my question because I can find calories in bacon on the package and bacon grease calories on the web. The packaging I assume states the bacon calories along with its fat, but when cooked down, I assume it loses a hefty amount of those calories.

Are flu bouts contracted from the vaccine transmissable?

Posted: 18 Sep 2016 06:20 PM PDT

To expand - if I get flu symptoms from the vaccine, will it still be contagious? Or will I only have the symptoms without necessarily having the same infectiousness.

How do photons (when emitted from a source) decide which direction to go?

Posted: 18 Sep 2016 09:55 AM PDT

Many chemical processes emit a photon when they release energy. How does an individual photon from a source decide which direction to go?

Can we actually touch individual protons? (Since they have no electrons to repel our electrons at the atomic level)

What, if any, is the relationship between sirtuins and telomeres? Where would sirtuins fit in the SENS model?

How did we prove heliocentrism?

Posted: 18 Sep 2016 05:27 PM PDT

I know the earth and the other planets revolve around the Sun but how did we prove it? I'm assuming it's because we know that smaller gravities attract (are acted upon) by larger gravities but I'm not sure that's the sole reason we know or not

How does a computer know that a number is negative using the 2's complement method?

Posted: 18 Sep 2016 04:55 PM PDT

For example how does a computer know that 10010010 is -110 in base 10 and not 146 in base 10?

Why when zoomed in upon, do individual characters on a screen have blurry edges?

Posted: 18 Sep 2016 04:49 PM PDT

Why is it that when a character on a screen is zoomed in upon that it is not that the letter is 100% black and the rest of the screen is 100% white, but instead there are some pixels between the character and blank space which are either a grey, blue, orange or other colour? I would have thought characters would be crisper looking if there were no gradient between the actual letter and the rest of the page. Is this a limitation of them being vectors?

Thanks

Why do all planets end up spinning around their own axis AND around a star?

Posted: 18 Sep 2016 02:23 PM PDT

Or are there planets that dont spin around their axis and this only have years and No days(if you were to live on one)
